The ABC Co. is considering a new consumer product. They believe that the XYZ Co. may come out with a competing product. If ABC a

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Let X be probability XYZ offers a competing product

EMV (assembly line) = $10,000∗X+$40,000∗(1-X)

EMV (addition) = -$100,000∗X+$600,000∗(1-X)

$10,000∗X+$40,000∗(1-X) = -$100,000*X+$600,000∗(1-X)

$10,000∗X-$40,000∗X+$40,000 = -$100,000∗X-$600,000∗X$600,000

-$30,000∗X+$700,000∗X = $600,000-$40,000

$670,000∗X = $560,000

X = $560,000/$670,000

X = 0.836

ABC will be indifferent between the two alternatives if the probability that XYZ will offer a competing product is estimated to be 0.836.

ABC should invest in the addition if the probability that XYZ will offer a competing product is estimated to be less than 0.836.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Dr Retained earnings $14,000

Cr Inventory $14,000

Explanation:

There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,

Adjusted inventory

= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000

= $14,000 decrease

It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.

Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.

Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.

It is not possible to create a per unit MCS if you are given total revenue and selling price. True False

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A per unit MCS cannot be created if you are given total revenue and selling price because per unit MCS is created by dividing the given total revenue by the total units of products ( for revenue per unit of product )

And also dividing the total cost by the total units of products ( for cost per unit of product ) hence the absence of the number of products will make it impossible to create a per unit MCS.
